Microworm Starter Culture

Microworms are a good first food source for fry. Some fry like Betta fish are so small they need a tiny food such as Microworms to start them off. Once you harvest some worms from the container and add them to the tank for fish to eat they will entice fry to eat due to the worms moving in the water. Most fry do better if fed live foods from the beginning. They are easy to culture and are a never ending supply of food for your fry. They're also easy to maintain and a care sheet is included with each purchase.

Items needed to maintain the culture.

A container with a lid that a few holes can be put into.Instant Mash Potato or Oatmeal (Substrate)Active Yeast.

Make up Oatmeal or mash potato.Allow it to cool.Once cold add the substrate evenly to the container. It needs to be approximately 3-4 inches deep.Add the starter culture onto the top of the mixture.Sprinkle a little yeast over the top.In 5-7 days you will start to see a sheen across the top of the mixture and the worms will start going up the sides of the container. This is when the culture is ready to start using.

Approximately every 3-4 weeks make up a new batch of substrate.Scape the top layer of the existing container of Microworms and add it to the new batch substrate.Add a little yeast and your culture will continue to thrive.

**The amount of yeast you add will produce more or less worms. So if you want less worms use less yeast or more worms add more yeast. We usually add a little yeast once a week.
